Over the Fourth of July break we saw at least 17 individuals announce their congressional candidacies, ten of which are worth mentioning from a competitiveness perspective. Many of the individuals became candidates this weekend as a show of patriotism over the national Independence Day holiday or in response to the “One Big Beautiful Bill’s” enactment.
Nicole Malliotakis R-NY-11 Representative Malliotakis crossed party lines to support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provided the most significant infusion of investment in our infrastructure since the mid-1950’s.
Don DavisD-NC-01Representative Davis crossed party lines to support the Congressional Review Act to overturn the Joint Employer Rule and subsequent veto override attempt and supports a bill to limit green card backlog.
Lloyd SmuckerR-PA-11Representative Smucker, a former contractor, introduced the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act, which would create a new market-driven, temporary immigration visa program for less skilled, year-round, non-agriculture occupations.
Rick LarsenD-WA-02Representative Larsen is an advocate for improving the nation’s infrastructure and championed increased funding for airport runways and taxiways in the FAA Reauthorization.
Shelley Moore CapitoR-WV-SenateSenator Capito is a champion of infrastructure and advocated for the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which included the most impactful federal environmental review and permitting reforms in over 40 years.
